Hi Chuck, Shooting HD through the Bogdan sounds very interesting. As I mentioned to Tyler, there's no need to wait for something to be scheduled to experiment with your equipment. Just let me, Bruce or Roger B know when you'd like to come out and we'll set something up. Also, I'll bring up the idea of SLAS member only SPOC Sun parties at tomorrow's SLAS BOD meeting. patrick On 12 Apr 2010, at 09:22, Chuck Hards wrote:
What I've been working on is using my high-def hard-drive video camcorder coupled afocally. The camera captures full HD video (approximately 2 megapixel resolution, not too bad) and also allows you to manually grab individual frames for stacking and manipulation. I'd be very interested in sun parties at SPOC, Patrick. Situated as it is, next to water and grassy areas, it is much better suited to solar observation than the usual valley locations. I'd even be interested in Saturday morning sun parties, when the seeing is better.
